Limited User Account problem

[Guest Ranth]

Can someone help with this problem, pls? I have a network of 11 Dell PCs

running XP Pro. They are all connected to a wireles router. They can all

connect to the internet and browse without problem, but only if I have logged

in as Administrator and switched user. If not, and the first and only log in

is by a limited user account, then the user can't type into the address bar

of IE, loses the Start menu and can't view the log off screen long enough to

click anything.

 

As a school, I don't want to keep logged in and it means i need to assign

admin rights to teachers so they can log in and switch user before lessons.

This is a huge security risk as they keep letting students see their password.

 

Many thanks for any help.

This may have to do with the wireless router and its associated software.

You may want to check the website of the manufacturer and especially any

software that is installed along with it. I have had problems with 2wire

Home Portal devices and limited user accounts.
